By graduationparty, on March 29th, 2009%

Are you looking for a unique graduation gift but have a limited budget or have A LOT of graduation gifts to give? Or do you just want a little “something personal” to go along with a gift of cash or a check? Then a thoughtfully created Graduation Mix CD might be the gift you’re looking for.

Burn your own Graduation Mix CD by using songs your grad loves to listen to or use a selection of songs from their favorite artists. Or do something a little different and choose a selection of graduation themed songs from familiar artists. Check out the post published earlier entitled “Songs to use for graduation” for a list of popular graduation themed songs. 

Songs are copyrighted so remember to use purchased versions – buy the CD or purchase the song from a reputable online website like iTunes, Napster or Rhapsody.

Once you’ve burned your CD create a fun CD label and jewel case label for it. You can choose a design and add your own text and/or photo. There are many computer software packages that can help you do this. Or buy a CD label kit and use the software or templates that come with it. Software and kits are available . . . → Read More: Graduation Mix CD – a unique & personal gift
